What to expect at Creative Combat this year
Creative Combat will be a bit different this year, and we wanted to let you know what to expect. One of the major changes is that we will only have 2 competition rounds, with the runner-up and winner being announced at the end. However, everyone will still get a chance to vote, whether you are at home or in person. The only difference this year is that you vote via a link from your phone, rather than a chip in a bowl!
If you are attending in person, we are doing our utmost to ensure social distancing and to consider the safety of our patrons.
- There is a limited number of tickets for the event at artsPlace.
- Once artsPlace tickets sell out, we will open tickets for additional downtown Canmore venues (e.g. the Hive Gallery on Main Street), all within easy walking distance from artsPlace.
- At all of our venues, there will be no more than 15 guests in each viewing area.
- Each location will have a different live artist painting for round 1 and 2. You will also be able to see all the Combat artists painting live on a large screen in front of you.
- We’re looking forward to supplying each location with all the other amenities – drinks, food, music and lots of fun!
Alberta Health Services guidelines, as well as artsPlace Health and Safety Protocols, will be followed at all locations.
